Re: Office 2007 Professional (Academic)
The chains *can't* sell it. It's an academic version and you must provide
proof that you are a student at a recognized educational institution.
Whoever is selling it on eBay is risking a lawsuit.

I am really surprised that more shops don't stock it if it is legal. From
the Microsoft website it seems you can buy it from 'Any Microsoft
Authorised
Education Reseller'. I live in the UK and none of the major chain-stores
sell it - surely they would get in on the act, even if it meant having to
jump through a few hoops to convince Microsoft they were suitable.
